Are Tassimo Costa Caramel Lattes High In Syns?

The Tassimo Costa Caramel Latte pod has 4.5 syns per serving, due to the flavourings and sugar, so can be incorporated into your daily Slimming World allowance without going over your syns. 

There are different types of Tassimo drinks in their range with varying syns, so we will cover them in our guide below, as well as some other low syn coffee pod alternatives and how to make your SW friendly latte at home. 

Are Tassimo Drinks High In Syns?

Most of the Tassimo coffee pods and general drink pods are under the 5 syns Tassimo mark with exception of a few, this does make them relatively high in syns for a drink but is worth it if you want a coffee-shop style hot drink to have at home.

SW Friendly Pumpkin Spice Latte Recipe

If you find that coffee pods are a little too high in syns, then you can always try making your professional latte at home, and by using your milk allowance as your Healthy Extra A you can keep syns low too unlike using a Tassimo T-Discs creamer which is high in syns. 

We have listed a basic recipe below for making your latte at home below which is syn free or half a syn if you use some cream on top. 

Ingredients 

• 250ml of dairy-free almond milk or normal milk as your healthy extra A. 
• 1 tsp of cinnamon.
• Pinch of ginger.
• Pinch of nutmeg.
• 1/3 tsp ground cloves.
• 1/3 tsp ground allspice.
• 1 shot of espresso.
• Sweetener.
• One tbsp of pumpkin puree.
• Two spoons of squirty cream.

Method 

• Step one - Mix all the spices while heating your milk over low heat in a pan, add your spices in and stir. 
• Step two - Now add your sweetener and puree and heat on a simmer till it starts to froth.
• Step three - Remove from heat, pour into your glass then stir in your espresso. Add the cream on top and serve!

Last Words

Overall, Tassimo Costa Caramel Latte pods have 4.5 syns in making them a nice low syn treat if you want a coffee shop style drink. The milk pods for these brands cannot be used as your healthy extra A, so we recommend adding your milk to plain coffees and sticking to the less flavoured pods if you are looking to save on syns.
